  1. Build relationships
  2. Develop people
  3. Lead change
  4. Inspire others
  5. Think critically
  6. Communicate clearly
  7. Create accountability

Through personal stories and practical insights, Arin contrasts raggedy leadership behaviors with research-backed strategies that inspire teams and create thriving workplaces.
